I have only been throwing pottery since the summer of 2007 when I took a class at Bakerhunt in Covington KY.

I love throwing, hate glazing and Wood Firing is awesome! The picture to the left is of a favorite piece I did - sort of a bottle with a foot cut out and handles. This was in the soda side of the kiln and turned out with a beautiful glaze.

Below are pictures of a few of my pieces that came out of the kiln that day (September 08):

Left: The mug (Malcolm's Shino inside, soda glazed outside), jug bottle (top-cut off), pinch pot candy dish (Shino glazed, soda side) and the blue winged thing (Med Lavender Blue glaze - wood fired) are all mine.

The candy dish was my first piece that I have let go - I gave it as a present to my best friend, Carolyn, on her birthday.


Right: Another "Winged Thing" with a lid and feet (wood fired, no glaze), a small bottle (one of the handles was knocked off before loading - soda side), the mug (pictured above) with Malcom's shino inside, jug bottle (shino glaze turned white) the bottle which is peeking out of the kiln shelf (pictured above), tall vase with lid (wood fired, no glaze), jar with lid (wood fired, no glaze), jug bottle (wood fired) with Albany glaze inside and bare on the outside, altered bowl with shino glaze.
